A programme of Valentine’s music at Melford Antiques Interiors & Lifestyle Centre

I popped into the antiques warehouse today and was totally enchanted to hear a little of your recital. Exquisite playing, absolutely beautiful! Beautiful! So talented.

“Recollections of The Great War 1914-1918”

A play to mark the Centenary of World War 1 was performed in aid of “You Are Not Alone”, the Mental Health Charity for Farming and Rural Residents, at Crow’s Hall, Debenham, Suffolk on 11^th November 2018. This moving play opened with a scene set in a “Palace of Varieties”, just before the outbreak of the War.

Adriene Ellis on Flute, with Anne Chorley playing Harp, gave a most convincing performance of pre-1914 music that would have been heard in Music Halls of the time. The clear tone of Adriene Ellis’ flute soaring to the rafters of the Barn combined with the rippling notes of Anne Chorley’s Celtic Harp enthralled the audience. The music ranged from “Down at the Old Bull and Bush”, “The Pipes of Pan”, “Love’s Old Sweet Song” to “The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo”, thus giving a good sense of the period. The charming talented Duo greatly enhanced the performance and enjoyment of the play”.
